Break-In Recommendations A long break-in period is not required for the engine in your new car. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable. While cruising, brief full-throttle accelera­ tions within li mits of state and local traffic laws contribute to a good break-in. Wide open throttle accelerations in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.

With each jab the brake must be fully applied and fully released for greatest effect. 41 An Important Message Regarding Your New Vehicle Every effort has been made to assure overall reliability of this vehicle, with particular emphasis on the systems having to do with vehicle control. In addition, certain characteristics have been designed into this vehicle which provide you with an "extra margin" of safety in operation in the rare event of malfunction. They do not afford you the same driving conditions however, and for this reason you should be aware of what to expect to avoid alarm or confusion should an abnormal condition arise. Specifically, you should be familiar with the following safety characteristics of the braking system and the power steering system. POWER BRAKES If either the front or rear hydraulic systems lose normal capabil- In the event power assist is lost for any reason, (for example, ity, the remaining system will still function with some loss of repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will overall braking effectiveness. This will be evident by increased still function. The effort required to brake the vehicle will be pedal travel during application, greater pedal force required to substantially increased over that required with the power system slow or stop, and activation of the Brake Warning Lamp during operating. brake use. In either situation cited above, braking effectiveness will be substantially reduced even though you exert much greater pedal effort than is customarily required. This, of course, means that even though such a malfunction has occurred, you will still be able to bring your car to a stop, but not within the usual stopping distance. POWER STEERING The power steering system of your car provides mechanical steering capability in the event power assist is lost. If for any reason, the hydraulic pressure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your car. Under these conditions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort and noticeable amount of "free play" in the steering wheel. Keeping the above information in mind will prepare you in the rare event you encounter the described conditions. You may wish to acquaint yourself with the "feel" of the steering and braking systems without power assist. To do this, select a straight road free of traffic, and while driving at a moderate speed put the transmission in neutral and tum the ignition switch to the OFF position, not to the LOCK position. Make steering motions, and after tapping the brake several times to deplete the power steering reserve, make a stop. 42 (Power assist of both systems may be restored during these maneuvers simply by restarting the engine). Controlling Exhaust
